**TLDR:** A generative summarization approach that rewrites source text to produce more natural and dense summaries.

<p>Abstractive summarization aims not merely to shorten text, but to restate its content in a more natural and compact way. This makes it powerful for human-like summary generation, but it also introduces the risk of factual drift and hallucination. It is important for executive summaries, dense short summaries, and user-friendly information delivery. In successful systems, faithfulness is as important as fluency.</p>
